Jaiden Dafoe

[Jaiden]

Appearance Date of Birth: 16-Spr-490 AV Race: Human Gender: Male Profession: Sailor Fluent: Common Poor: Kontinese Basic: Fratava Jaiden is a a towering figure, nearly seven feet tall and strongly built with broad shoulders and corded arms, yet slim enough around the waist to still be agile in his calling. His skin is a healthy bronze hue. Eyes are brown, and his hair a wavy vibrant auburn. Flesh as canvas, his body offers an assortment of tattoo art. Most notably; a skull and crossbones design upon shoulder and the words in a flowing elegant script across his chest, "No Quarter Given". From ears dangle golden hoops etched with intricate knot work. Personality Jaiden is an ambitious man. He has his heart set on one day captaining his own ship and his intention is to not play by the rules. Having witnessed his folk working their lives away for meager gains forever spurned him to that lifestyle. He views the world as a 'survival of the fittest'. Thus he believes the only way to truly grasp what you desire is to take it by force or cunning. He has a flamboyant style about him that only swells an already enormous ego. Jaiden harbors a sense of humor, and values that trait in others. If he believes someone is of threat to health or fortune, a ruthless ire consumes, bringing out a very different sort of man. History Born in Zeltiva by union of a fisherman and seamstress. Jaiden grew up on East Street with little more than the clothes on his back and a few meager possessions. His parents toiled as was necessary and had no ambitious dreams to speak of. As a young man, Jaiden had difficulty pursuing the sort of life his parents might of desired for him. He cared little for the drudgery of working day to day. His father eventually took him out on fishing boats and he enjoyed this new found freedom and the scent of brine on the air. But what truly caught his attention, was the sea craft. The swift schooners and sloops in particular. He also marveled at the sheer size of the galleons and larger vessels that docked in Zeltiva's harbor. At the age of 18, he quickly grew bored with the city life and so took passage on a merchant ship as a deckhand. 6 years (and a few ships) later he was a seasoned sailor. He knew his business aboard a ship and had even proved himself more than a capable swordsman when trouble tried to board in the form of Svefran pirates.
